Genderless characters are the hardest to write. For pronouns I have to use either "it", which is too impersonal; "they", which sounds gramatically dodgy; or Spivak (e, em, eir).

Genderless meaning that they have no sexual organs, or genderless meaning that they do not identify with any gender?AHadley wrote:Genderless characters are the hardest to write.

In the case of the first, you should use whatever gender the character identifies with (character may have been brought up as a specific gender).

There's people out there I can trust. But, I have to be sure they're not androids though. Otherwise, they're just trying to turn me into one of them.

Both. Due to the nature of the story, they were never really "brought up" at all. They were a test for a genetically engineered human subspecies. They're (/it's/e's) also aniridic (or possibly heterochromic, not sure yet) and completely alopecic.VSMIT wrote:Genderless meaning that they have no sexual organs, or genderless meaning that they do not identify with any gender?AHadley wrote:Genderless characters are the hardest to write.

That a friend of a friend may be out of mercenary work, now that Qaddafi's regime is defeated. Dictatorships are profitable for some and give good benefits. Guess the door-to-door house visits and setting fire to a village's child population to establish the dominance of the said regime is a bit questionable... but, eh.

It's that kind of story. I'm leaning towards using singular they and it, since Spivak is so obscure.
